Ecumenism is the movement that seeks to promote unity among different Christian denominations
and traditions.
However, some Christians view ecumenism as a form of spiritual whoredom, a betrayal of God's
covenant love and truth.
They argue that ecumenism compromises the purity
of the gospel and the authority of Scripture,
and that it leads to syncretism and apostasy.
They cite biblical passages that warn against spiritual adultery, such as Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, where God's people are likened to an unfaithful wife who chases after other lovers
instead of trusting in her divine husband.
They also point to passages in the New Testament,
such as 2 Corinthians 11:1-3 and Revelation 17-18,
where false teachers and Babylon the Great are described as harlots who seduce and deceive God's people. They believe that God will judge those
who participate in ecumenism, as he judged Israel
for her whoredom in the Old Testament.
